“This new book is recommended to our many readers interested in colloid science, especially the fundamentals of separation and concentration of colloidal particles. The book begins with a very useful three-tier table of contents, containing eight parts, each consisting of one or more chapters organized into a series of subcategories. … The book is well written, illustrated, and organized. Symbols appearing in the equations are defined at the end of each chapter. There are about 800 references and thorough subject index. ” — Arthur Hubbard, in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2004
